Ivory Tower Economist thread:
From Seattle to D.C., city councils are voting to reshape the service industry. They are raising wages, mandating schedules, and creating new labor bureaucracies. They all point to "data" and "research." The question nobody asks: who paid for it? 🧵
SEATTLE MAYOR BLASTED: Mayor Katie Wilson was MIA at Saturday night's anti-violence march in North Seattle.
Neighbors eviscerated mayor Wilson, calling her a coward and accusing her of being unprepared to address the staggering amount of human trafficking and ongoing pimp wars on Aurora Ave N.

I spoke to dozens of people in the neighborhoods that butt up against Aurora. All of them told the same story of not feeling safe, of the constant gunshots and sus people coming through. It is such a shame that their Rep. in Olympia also supports crime over her constituents.

@WallStreetApes Good luck, everybody. She is a socialist, and the goal of the socialist is to disrupt commerce/capitalism. Best way to do that is to tax you to death and create a class of citizens that have to rely on the government.
@weheartseattle@choeshow@alisonintheknow Because it's the center of the hornet's nest. We are the big labor run experiment. The gang's all here and so is the $$$.
This guy here is one of the reasons living in Seattle is like living in an HOA. He loves the government to hold his hand and tells everyone how they should live. ugh.
@stevemur@skaushik100 Then there is the question about the box of ballots found by the dumpster, all foreign names. The picture that seems to be developing is not a good one. Do we start to point to former SOS Kim Wyman for the set up?
